Comment:
Not a mean guy, but the amount of time it takes him to grade is ridiculous. I really think he only showed up to class on time once this semester. The other times ranging anywhere from 5 minutes to 40 minutes late. I have no idea how Im doing on certain material because I have yet to see some of my grades from the beginning of the semester.

Dr. Wismer is a great teacher. The only flaws are, he does not grade very fast at all and tends to cancel class a lot. I also noticed that he assigns a lot of homework but does not check all of it. I'm flying through this class super easy, but the little things are frustrating.

Took him online. I do NOT recommend him. He showed up 10-20 minutes late to class every single time. Never posted quizzes on time (and made them on days we didn't even have class). Never answers his email or gives feedback on your work. The semester is almost over and only 3 things are graded right now. Don't take him.

He made me understand things that I struggled with for years because he explains why problems work the way they do. He is very understanding with having a job and school work to do. He answers any questions and is happy to help.

Great math teacher, but a little all over the place, didn't finish the content in time and had to rush towards the end of the course. Be sure to do the homework, it will help with studying. You can tell he really cares about his students, always very positive and in a good mood.

A great guy overall, hard to communicate with over email so talk to him in class. Doesn´t spoonfeed information, so you have to stop being lazy and put in the effort to learn yourself. Final was easy. Can be oblivious so give him slack lol. Overall a fun class and would 10/10 recommend. Knows his stuff

Overall an OK prof. Lecture heavy, most of the class is powerpoints. Very rude, even if you show up to class and participate. I asked a question on the final and he yelled at me in front of everyone, and basically told me my question was stupid. Do not take a class with him unless you absolutely have to.

Comment:
Dr. Wismer was the worst professor I have taken at Millersville so far. I did not learn anything, he showed up late to EVERY class, he did not respond to emails, he put incorrect grades into D2L, his expectations were very unclear, so his grading was unfair. Overall, he does not take the class seriously so it is very difficult to learn anything.

I guess the best way to sum up his class is that this is the only college course Ive taken where attendance is counted every class and you have to stick your phone in a box during exams. Lectures are always rushed through but informative. Tests are manageable if you know what youre doing but he will throw in trick questions for some reason. :)

Comment:
Wismer was a horrible teacher. Lectures were super boring and I didnt learn anything anyway. If you ask a question he makes you feel stupid and still doesnt help. You get assignments that he doesnt explain how to do and then grades them really tough. The final was ridiculously long took over 2 hours to do and theres just nothing good about him

Certainly an interesting gentleman. He is passionate about statistics and eager to teach his students. His personality makes the lectures entertaining. This was my first Stats class ever and it is not my strong suit by any means. Wismer does a good job of explaining the material. Show up to class, do the HW and quizzes on MSL, and you will be fine.

Honestly, I have found a decent amount of incorrect information within his notes and he makes a lot of mistakes during class. I've taken algebra classes before and the way he explains includes way more steps that just makes it more confusing. He is not the absolute worst professor I've ever had but he is up there. Find a different prof. if you can.

Comment:
Easy class, if you are willing to teach yourself. He's always 10 minutes late, misgrades/looses exams and homework, and will never answer your emails. Always look over your work, because there's a good chance it was marked wrong when it's right. He never posts to D2L, therefore it's difficult to keep track of your overall grade. Easy but annoying.

Wismer was the best professor I had while at Millersville. Math is definitely not my strong suit and I went into the class extremely nervous. He was such a nice guy and was always willing to help me. I surprisingly did really well thanks to him!

Dr. Wismer is always upbeat and ready to explain new material. I would think that teaching MATH100 to a class full of non-math majors would be tiring, but he always was accessible and helpful. His summer class was enjoyable and he was understanding when it came to deadlines. He's good at gauging the class's understanding of the material.

I think he makes class much more enjoyable than your average math class. Hearing about other professors from different math 104 classes, they all sound like nightmares. But Wismer is very clear and upbeat. I think he's a great professor

Great professor that really knows his stuff. If you follow along and do your assignments, you will have no problem in his class. He doesn't rush the introduction of new assignments, and judges the class' understanding of the material based off of quiz results. Great partial credit when you show understanding.

He is a very nice professor and extremely easy to talk to. If you ever have questions, he is more than willing to answer them. He is sometimes hard to contact over email, but he always reminds students of his office hours. I enjoyed this class and did not struggle at all. His quizzes and tests are 90% of the time exactly what he goes over in class.
